We have monthly meetings, social events, (dine outs, mini golf, movies, bars, beach days, fundraisers) and other events.

Mission Statement

Tampa Bay Bears is a gay, male brotherhood organization created to promote fellowship and

social bonding among "Bears" (hirsute men), "cubs," Levis/Leather men and admirers of all of the former.

The Club strives to provide a safe network for

singles and couples to socialize regularly,
where all members treat each other with respect.

We seek to promote positive inter-club relations within the local, regional, national, and international bear and Levi/Leather communities.

We also encourage a positive public image of the

Bear Community within the larger, global community.

Membership is open to any male voted into the

group who is hirsute or admires hirsute men.
There are no physical characteristics required for membership.
